Weekly Fic Discussion

Welcome again to kpop_fic! It's so so exciting to see so many different people joining in this community and sharing fics!

One idea arundels and I also had for this community was to have some regular discussion posts so that people have a chance to chat. So, here is our first Weekly Fic Discussion post!

This post can be used for any kind of fic discussion you want, but will also have a few prompt questions each week. We'll try to target both writers and readers with the prompt questions. You can reply to all of them, one of them, or none of them if you have something else you want to talk about!

Feel free to post WIP snippets, ask others' opinion on characterization, share a clip that has broken your brain, etc.!

This week's prompt questions:

• How did you get into reading/writing K-pop RPF?


• What is your platonic ideal of a K-pop fic (e.g. the elements you usually gravitate towards)?

I also got into kpop twice (though the first time not into rpf)! It's interesting to see how we can cycle in and out of fandoms, and how they can mean different things to us each time around.

Fake relationships YESSSSS truly one of the best tropes. I too really love hyper-specific work/profession AUs, it feels like taking a peek into someone else's life. Even professions that are supposedly boring I think are very fascinating when examined under the microscope like that.

They really do mean different things at different times, it's so interesting!

I agree about even professions that don't seem sexy being interesting when someone who loves them writes about them. It's so cool.
